Outpatient Therapy

Outpatient services are provided to seriously emotionally disturbed children (SED), as well as to other children and adolescents who experience difficulties in social and emotional functioning that has begun to interfere with age-appropriate developmental expectations. 

Behavioral Health Counseling
Our licensed mental health therapists have specialized training to work with youth and families to set individualized goals and develop a long-term plan for treatment. Therapists provide evidence-based, trauma-informed treatment models specific to diagnosis and mutually defined goals. Clients learn how to manage and cope with difficulties such as depression, anxiety, trauma, adjusting to life stresses and changes, grief, family and peer relationships, and emotional reactions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy
An evidence-based group treatment for adolescents which is designed to manage a variety of issues, including self-harm, suicidal ideation/attempts, extreme emotional dysregulation, impulsivity, interpersonal conflict, symptoms of post-traumatic stress, and other high-risk behaviors. 

Psychiatric Services
We employ board-certified child psychiatrists who provide services to CRC clients in need of psychiatric assessment and medication management. 

Please note, while we don’t accept direct referrals from parents/guardians for specific programs, every child will receive a comprehensive mental health assessment prior to receiving services. This process is designed to develop a diagnostic forumulation and identify the child’s relevant needs. The mental health assessment forms the basis for all subsequent treatment planning.
